With no response from them, the NTPC had decided to cut the power supply allegedly. The decision was taken after the Andhra Pradesh government did not pay even 30 crores to the NTPC.
After the issue created a lot of problems for the people, Andhra Pradesh Minister for Energy Balineni Srinivas Reddy had opened up on the issue finally and kept the blame on previous Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu. The Minister said that the power cut is the result of the pending payments that were supposed to be in TDPâs regime.
The NTPC is believed to have asked the AP DISCOMs to pay a mere amount of Rs 30 crore so that the power supply wonât get stopped. The amount asked by the statutory company National Thermal Power Corporation Limited is less than 10 percent of the total dues.
